Skill instructions
Plugin Creator Quick Start 1. Run the scaffold script: bash Plugin names are normalized to lower-case hyphen-case and must be <= 64 chars. The generated folder and plugin.json name are always the same. Run from the skill root (the directory containing this SKILL.md). By default creates in ~/plugins/<plugin-name. python3 scripts/createbasicplugin.py <plugin-name 2. Edit <plugin-path/.codex-plugin/plugin.json when the request gives specific metadata. The scaffold starts with valid defaults and must not contain [TODO: ...] placeholders. 3. Generate or update the personal marketplace entry when the plugin should appear in Codex UI ordering: bash Personal marketplace entries default to ~/.agents/plugins/marketplace.json. python3 scripts/createbasicplugin.py my-plugin --with-marketplace Only specify --marketplace-name <name when the default personal marketplace name is already taken or installed and you need to seed a different new marketplace file: bash python3 scripts/createbasicplugin.py
